Overview

• Bryan Bucco and fellow VIP actors confirmed that none of their on-screen English lines use their real voices, but are entirely replaced by post-production dubs.
• Bucco revealed the VIP sequences were filmed last, with actors wearing heavy masks and reacting to unseen stimuli, which he says led to stilted delivery.
• Fans and critics on platforms like Reddit have called the VIPs’ dubbed dialogue “horrendous” and “cringeworthy,” saying it undermines the season’s tension.
• Season 3 gives the VIPs a more active role—disguising themselves as pink guards and influencing contestants—but many agree the subplot fails to advance the core narrative.
• Bucco speculates that a single contracted dubbing company handles all English versions for Netflix, explaining why the VIP voices are uniformly replaced across regions.
